The cross monument in Ganisi is a historical and cultural landmark of the Kazbegi municipality in Georgia. Located opposite the observation deck in the mountains, the cross replaced the monument that previously stood here. The village of Ganisi is located on the right bank of the Aragvi River, in the picturesque Gud Gorge, at an altitude of 1650 meters above sea level. It is 40 kilometers away from Stepantsminda, the famous tourist center of Georgia.
Despite the absence of a permanent population according to census data, Ganisi remains an important transit point for tourists, thanks to the road that passes through the village. Along this road there are various establishments offering services and goods to tourists. The Cross Monument is a place where travelers can stop, take photos, appreciate the breathtaking mountain views and enjoy moments of peace and quiet.
A visit to the Cross Monument is recommended as part of a cultural route through the Kazbegi Municipality, especially for those interested in history, natural beauty and photography. The accessibility of the establishment along the road makes this place a convenient rest stop on the way to other attractions in the region.
